Vendor Update!

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since I have updated. Lacrosse season started so my free time is very rare these days. I have really been enjoying the planning process. Yes, I have felt a little bit of stress but overall, it's been a piece of cake. Also, TJ and I have been working really well together as a team. I call myself the "creative vision" and him the "executor".... hahaha. I research and find places, he calls and makes the appointments. It has been working really well for us so far. So here are some updates:

Photographer
Last month my bridesmaid Vanessa and I went to a bridal show in Lake Mary. Even though it was a small event compared the one I went to at the Rosen, I actually enjoyed it more. We were in and out in about 25 minutes. While there, I was able to talk to one of the photographers and was really interested. TJ called and made an appointment with him and voila! We had a photographer. We really liked him so that's one major thing to cross off of our list. Check him out here: http://gregsgallery.net/

Wedding DJ
Initially, TJ and I really wanted a live band to be at the reception. The first band we were interested in was booked so we extended our search to find bands through wedding websites. We found one we really liked but the price was not right. It was way more expensive than we wanted (I mean, most people don't spend that much on their WHOLE wedding, let alone the entertainment). So you can say we were a little discouraged. However, we looked at the bright side and decided to do some research. Wedding Wire has been a great asset during the wedding planning. On there, we found a DJ company we both liked. Great reviews...videos of them at events...good prices.... it looked good! TJ contacted them, made an appointment and the two of us went to meet the owner of the company. 1 and 1/2 hours later we booked them! They has a team of many DJs but we really liked the owner so we booked him as our DJ because he has 20+ years of experience. Check them out here: http://www.orlandodj.com/


I guess you can say we have been really lucky so far! We meet, we like them, we book it! Where's all this stress supposed to come from?

Next on our list is talking to the florist, finding an officiant, and then look for the dress! I'll update again soon :)
